Bartholomeus Klip is unique. There are only five bedrooms in this small hotel,
the original homestead on a large private estate which is both a working wheat
and sheep farm and a nature reserve with a spectacular mountain backdrop.
Here, in this unexplored region only an hour by car from Cape Town's
international airport, you can feel part of the peaceful life of rural South
Africa and its clean crisp air and star-filled night skies. Bartholomeus
Klip's 10 000 acre fynbos nature reserve is part of the Cape Floral Kingdom,
the world's smallest, but the richest in species for its size.

The Victorian homestead has been meticulously renovated, and the fine fabrics
and family antiques make you feel as if you are a guest in someone's
much-loved home.
Rose-filled gardens and ancient oaks surround the house, with benches tucked
away in quiet places perfect for absorbing the peace and relaxed atmosphere.
Nearby, the deck of the salt-water swimming pool is ideal for sunbathing or
sundowners, and the boathouse, where the wonderful brunches are served, has a
spectacular view over the dam.
Wild Olive House and its adjoining cottage, separately sited from the main
Farmhouse, provide a self- catering option where children are welcome.
There is accommodation for up to six adults and two children. Guests can eat
at Bartholomeus Klip by prior arrangement (babysitters can be provided for
children).

Wild Olive House has its own swimming pool and outdoor living area, with space
to braai (or barbecue) beside the pool. The kitchen is fully equipped with
everything needed for both cooking and eating.
The Cottage has a bedroom, bathroom and small sitting room, with mini-fridge
and facilities for making tea or coffee. You can watch the setting sun turn
the mountains pink from your own private deck.
